Metal Thread Lace

Handmade lace, woven from twisted silver and gilt metal threads. The ornament is geometric, in the form of a silver wave-like band running through the center, underscored above and below by a gilt zigzag line. Along the edges is a narrow border.

Monastery-made lace, produced in the second half of the 18th century.

Belonged to the pre-war collection of the Sloboda Ukraine Museum named after H. S. Skovoroda. Remained in the museum during the occupation of Kharkiv during the Second World War (1941–1943).
